In high humidity, they might swell enough to keep the rings on, but in cold dry weather or hot dry weather--they just slide right off. There's no use having them sized anymore, because my body might change and then the rings would be wrong. <br />Thanks for the sweet sentiment. You know what? I grew up when I married. I was such a child, and he's become everything to me, even my best friend.CeliaAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16272417114895975742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8058304572077474516.post-6194919625206882082010-08-17T16:52:27.241-05:002010-08-17T16:52:27.241-05:00Celia, thanks for warming my heart.

Not only with the story of your gold wedding bands, but the beautiful relationship you and your husband have. <br /><br />If I had a wedding ring, I'd probably be losing it too, since my fingers act like yours. It's one reason I rarely wear rings even though I love to wear them on special occasions.Savanna Kougarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15698138048388102279noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8058304572077474516.post-54657308190126941342010-08-17T14:34:14.530-05:002010-08-17T14:34:14.530-05:00CAROLINE--isn't it odd, how we feel about thos...CAROLINE--isn't it odd, how we feel about those rings?

We took the ring to a lovally famous jewelry chain, and the snotty repairman told us it couldn't be repaired and we should replace it. Not likely! This is the one my husband gave me when he proposed and no other will do. We took it to a better jeweler who repaired and it looks good as new.Caroline Clemmonshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14914658854159456335noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8058304572077474516.post-91819777614758041312010-08-17T11:12:11.001-05:002010-08-17T11:12:11.001-05:00DIANE--well, he got his comuppance!

I am very careful with them now. I have several costume jewelry rings I wear sometimes when I know my rings won't stay on.<br />And he does kid me a lot about silly things--I wouldn't have put it past him. But his humor is such that you don't know if he's joking or not. He still baffles his buddies, and he gets such a big kick out of it.

My husband's is loose on his finger sometimes though but he hasn't lost it yet. <br /><br />When I first start reading about your husband losing his ring, I thought he was kidding you. I'm glad you both still have your lovely rings and are together after so many years. That's a wonderful accomplishment!Diane Craverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09543155150824715253noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8058304572077474516.post-15457998798390055582010-08-17T07:44:22.354-05:002010-08-17T07:44:22.354-05:00REBECCA--what a good idea for your husband's r...REBECCA--what a good idea for your husband's ring! My husband, too, has asked every few years if I want a diamond ring instead of the gold band, but I would not give my gold band up for anything. But on our 25th--long ago--he wanted me to have diamonds so we went to a local jewelers who made custom-made rings. It's different, with three diamonds and two rubies, in a thinner gold band. I wear it with my wedding band like you would an engagement ring. I've had so many compliments. It's a small ring, though, because my hands are small. Something big would look wrong on me.Thanks for sharing your ring story.

I know too many who aren't--they just drift along, living in the same house but not connecting on any emotional level. Very sad.

Otherwise they are identical. While spending his career in construction my Hubby couldn't wear his ring on his finger. For a time he carried it in his pocket on his key ring, but an episode of losing his keys made him rethink that as a solution. I bought him a nice sterling silver chain and he began wearing it around his neck. That's where it has been for over twenty years now. The chain has been replaced many times, but the same rings are still with us. He has asked many times if I want to buy a new set of rings and my answer is always the same, "NO! Another set of rings will never have the same memories as these."Rebecca J Vickeryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00546468496288447253noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8058304572077474516.post-43560964086570524732010-08-17T00:45:45.351-05:002010-08-17T00:45:45.351-05:00Celia, you have just described our rings.

It feels so weird when I take mine off for cooking, cleaning and so on, and only feel 'complete' again when I've finished the job and put my rings back on. My hubbie used to do work where he had to remove his wedding ring for safety, but always felt the same - couldn't wait to put it back on again. That makes me think of how we feel, as a couple and a family - sometimes we have to be apart, but we're only 'whole' again when we're back together. It's 6.30am, hubbie has just gone to work, kids aren't awake, the house is quiet, it's one of my favourite moments of the day, and here I am wiping away the tears! ;-) Your post will make me smile and feel so grateful for what I have today. Love to you and your man. :) Jane xJane Richardsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07633011977001159724noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8058304572077474516.post-72197129203153378302010-08-16T23:31:56.956-05:002010-08-16T23:31:56.956-05:00Love this post, Celia.
